** Stefano Di Battista **
Italian saxophonist Stefano di Battista has released a trio of albums as a
leader, two of which were never issued in the U.S. The third, a U.S. release in
2000 from Blue Note, is self-titled and mainly features di Battista's own
compositions. In addition, it includes "Song for Flavia" by Rosario Bonaccorso
and a pair of songs by Jacky Terrasson, "Chicago 1987" and "Little Red Ribbon."
Both bassist Bonaccorso and pianist Terrasson appear on the album, accompanied
by former Coltrane drummer Elvin Jones and trumpeter Flavio Boltro.
Di Battista, a native of Rome who plays both soprano and alto saxophone, took up
the instrument when he was 13 to play with some friends from his neighborhood.
When he heard recordings by alto saxophonist Art Pepper, he knew the sound of
jazz was for him. Later he received guidance from Massimo Urbani, another
influential alto saxophonist. By his early twenties, di Battista had begun
performing in Paris, thanks to an invitation from Jean-Pierre Como. The two had
met during the Calvi Jazz Festival.
Within two years the Italian saxophonist had established himself at the Sunset,
a prominent jazz hot spot in the City of Lights. He appeared frequently on the
bill with Michel Benita, drummer StΘphane Huchard, and drummer Aldo Romano. From
there he proceeded to work as a soloist, which led to associations with such
artists as cornetist Nat Adderley, drummers Daniel Humair and Jimmy Cobb, and
the late French pianist Michel Petrucciani, among others.
Petrucciani invited di Battista into a sextet he was then forming and extended
the invitation to include trumpeter Boltro, who frequently accompanied di
Battista. Di Battista put out his debut recording as a leader for Label Bleu in
1997. Volare kicked up a lot of attention for the saxophonist and received an
award nomination in France. The following year he put out A Prima Vista. The
recording of his third album in 2000 so impressed veteran jazz drummer Jones
that when the album was finally wrapped up and in the vault, he scooped up di
Battista for his Elvin Jones Jazz Machine tour. Di Battista released his second
album on Blue Note, the Charlie Parker tribute album Parker's Mood, in 2005.
** Sylvain Luc **
French guitarist Sylvain Luc has honed his jazz improvisations since the 1980s,
when he first discovered jazz as a teenager. He studied at the prestigious
Academy de Bayonne as a child, mastering the guitar, cello, violin, and
mandolin, but jazz shed a different light on Luc's musical ambitions. He spent
time with the Bubble Quartet, discovering an appreciation for South African
music in his twenties. Luc combined his love for jazz with worldbeat sounds and
carved a career for himself. He issued his first album, Duet, in 2000. Sud
followed shortly thereafter. A third album, Trio Sud, was issued in spring 2002
and featured collaborations with Jean-Marc Jafet and Andre Ceccarelli.
